Calipari takes the bait ... it's about time.

After reports of John Calipari accepting the job at the University of Kentucky, then reports of him staying at Memphis, then reports of him accepting the job at the University of Kentucky, then reports of him stay ... anyways, he has finally actually accepted the job at the University of Kentucky.  Personally, after the mistake of Billy G, I would have preferred someone who knows what Kentucky basketball means to the state like Travis Ford.  The program needs someone who truelly wants the position, not for the "stage," but for the pride.

I hope he turns it around fast, I don't want to be glued to the internet blogs in two years.

He's obviously a winner. I must admit that the thought of those top recruits following him is exciting, especially if Meeks and Patterson meant what they said when they said they were coming back. But, I am just a little uneasy. How many one and done players will we get? Will our program resemble UC of the 90's with thugs who can't make the grades? Are there NCAA infractions in the future? I certainly hope not. There's not too many bigger names than Calipari in the college basketball world, recruiting just got a little easier.
